About the exhibition
Pliable Planes: Expanded Textiles & Fibre Practices draws together practitioners who reimagine practices in textiles and fibre art.
The project takes its title from a 1957 essay by Bauhaus artist Anni Albers that sought to rethink the use of weaving through an architectural lens, interpreting textiles as fundamentally structural and endlessly mutable. Using this concept as a point of departure, the exhibition presents the work of contemporary practitioners experimenting with the boundaries of materiality, spatial fluidity, and process.
